I would (and do) for middle school and high school because my options for in-person are less than ideal (private schools that really fail at effective communication and discipline.)

I'd like Khanacademy to add a feature that allows parents to actually task assignments to their students/children. That seems like a major gap now. So we're currently enrolled in a different online program that has much more structure, but is still self-paced.

Which one is that? Do you have any recommendations?

The following link lists about 25, not sure if they all offer degrees. Some are affiliated with existing private schools, and others with universities (Both Texas Tech Uni K-12 and UTHS teach the standard curriculum for the State of Texas.)

There is also a range of how much classroom interaction they require (some have a lot, others none) so picking one depends on what the student prefers for their learning environment.
